Borscht recipe. Calorie, chemical composition and nutritional value
For each person, the most delicious food is the one that is familiar and familiar to him from early childhood. At the genetic level, love for the Fatherland, for the native home, for the national cuisine is laid. For a Russian person, borscht is not just food, it is a cultural asset. We will talk about this "historical" dish today.
Borscht and porridge...
Borscht is considered to be a primordially Russian national dish, which has been feeding entire nations for centuries. He is loved and cooked in different countries even those who watch their figure and each time carefully count the calories in the portion eaten. There are several types of dishes: Russian, Ukrainian, lenten, cold and others. Since ancient times, borscht was served on the tables in every house. The calorie content of the contents of the plate of our ancestors was of little interest, but in modern society the nutritional value of a dish is important.
Russian borsh
Let's analyze the composition of borscht, because it has its own specific ingredients: beets, white cabbage, browned roots, onion and tomato puree, which can be replaced with fresh tomatoes. The first dish must be acidified, for example, with vinegar or cabbage pickle, and sugar is added to it, which, together with acid, gives the dish a sweet and sour taste. Borscht can be cooked with boiled or raw beets. It is chopped into straws, sprinkled with vinegar and sautéed in fat. The vegetable is processed so that it does not lose its beautiful burgundy color during stewing. Then broth, sugar, tomato puree are added to the beets and, having closed the lid, stew over low heat. The young root crop is stewed for 30 minutes, and the old one - from one to one and a half hours. Some time before the end of the stew, add browned roots and onions.
Meat broth is cooked separately, which consists of pulp and bones. It is salted only after it boils, as this improves the taste of the borscht base. It is important to remove the foam and fat from the broth several times, only then it will be transparent. It is cooked over low heat, otherwise it will have an unattractive appearance, and the taste will noticeably suffer.
In boiling meat broth put fresh raw cabbage, and after boiling again, add stewed beets with roots and cook for about 30 minutes. At the end of cooking, browned flour diluted with broth, spices, salt, sugar are added to the borscht and boiled for ten minutes.
If not fresh cabbage is added to the dish, but sauerkraut, then it is first stewed. You can cook borsch with boiled beets, then it is added in the same way as other vegetables. It is good to serve cheesecakes, krupenik or other stuffed dough products with the dish. True, this will increase its nutritional value.
According to this recipe, a classic borscht is prepared. Its calorie content depends on the ingredients that make up the composition. For example, if you replace beef with poultry meat, the dish will be easier to digest. The calorie content of borscht with chicken is an order of magnitude less than with other meats.
Ukrainian borsch
Let's analyze the Ukrainian borscht, the calorie content of which we learn from the table below. Potatoes, fresh white cabbage cut into strips are added to the finished broth. To prepare the dish, beets are stewed with onions, carrots, vinegar, sugar, as for classic version. Vinegar can be replaced with lemon juice. Sometimes beets are put separately in a dish, and onions and carrots are stewed together with bell peppers and tomato paste, which can be replaced with fresh tomatoes. Before the end of cooking Ukrainian borscht put black peppercorns, herbs, bay leaf. Dill, parsley can be both fresh and dried - the taste of the dish will not deteriorate from this. After the pan with borscht is removed from the heat, a few cloves of garlic are placed in it. Such borscht, the calorie content of which in finished form will be about 90 kcal per 100 grams, is called Ukrainian.
Lenten borscht
Lenten borsch, or vegetarian, which is prepared in the same way as all the others, but without meat and in vegetable broth, is low in calories. Beans can be added to it, which contains vegetable protein, which increases the nutritional value of the dish. Let's calculate the calorie content of borscht without meat: in the lean version with beans there will be about 25 kcal per 100 grams, and without it - 23 kcal per 100 grams. Nevertheless, vegetable broth does not impair the taste and does not harm the figure. That is why many women are interested in vegetarian borscht - the calorie content is minimal, and in terms of usefulness it is not inferior to the classic version.
Cold borscht
Cold borscht can be called okroshka in another way, because they are similar in the way they are cooked. Beets, potatoes, eggs for cooking are boiled, cut into cubes. Cucumbers, greens are cut and added to a mixture of vegetables. Boiled meat can sometimes be replaced with pork or beef tongue, sausage, sausages - then you get a "dacha" version of the dish. The main difference between cold borscht and okroshka is that it is prepared on the basis of beetroot broth, which gives it a beautiful color and original taste. Beetroot is more often cooked in the summer, when the body has difficulty accepting heavy food. Everyone who is losing weight should cook at least once cold borscht- the calorie content of the dish is 72 kcal per 100 grams of the dish.
Cooking rules
Borscht is not an easy dish. When preparing the legendary first, it is important to adhere to certain rules and relentlessly follow the technology.
- All products must be placed in a boiling liquid, whether it be broth or water. The sequence of laying vegetables in the dish depends on the time of their cooking.
- All acidic foods, such as vinegar, sorrel or pickles, are put in after the potatoes are half cooked.
- Carrots, onions, tomato puree are sautéed and added to a boiling liquid. beets and sauerkraut stew in any fat so that carotene is easier to digest.
- Borscht is seasoned with flour sauteing to give it a thicker consistency. Flour sautéing stabilizes vitamin C in vegetables and prevents it from oxidizing.
- Pepper and bay leaf are added to borscht before the end of cooking.
- It is necessary to cook the dish at a low boil.
Borscht: calories depending on the ingredients
The nutritional value of a dish depends entirely on what products were used in the cooking process and how it was prepared. It is known that during frying, the calorie content of the product increases, especially when using fats of animal origin. Stewing is healthier, it retains a maximum of nutrients, with this method of processing food loses a minimum of vitamins. It is clear that the calorie content of borsch in pork broth is maximum, but it can also be reduced by replacing one ingredient with another. The composition of borscht includes vegetables that have their own calorie content.

Video: "Calories can not be counted"
Borscht is a truly universal dish: thick, rich will warm and give strength in the cold season; light, green - refreshes and quickly nourishes in the heat. And although this dish has been known since ancient times, there are no two housewives who would cook the same borscht.
However, even with one hostess on different days it turns out to be different in taste: when fresh tomatoes instead of tomato paste are added by the cook-craftswomen, when bell pepper it will crumble into frying when it pours sauerkraut into a saucepan instead of fresh cabbage ... That is why it is difficult to calculate the calorie content of borscht. However, some numbers can still be deduced.
Green or brewed with large quantity beets, lean or meat broth - any borscht will bring health benefits.
This is a wonderful dish.
- being balanced in composition, it contains almost all the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals necessary for a person;
- gently envelops the inner walls of the stomach and intestines, helping to cope with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- well saturating even a small portion, saves from overeating;
- improves metabolism and promotes the speedy breakdown of carbohydrates and fats that have entered the body. This process is accompanied by the release of heat. That is why after a plate of borscht it becomes hot;
- due to the high fiber content in vegetables, it gently cleanses the intestines, removing toxins and heavy metals.
Perfect borscht: studying the composition ...
The composition of the dish can really include a variety of ingredients, but the basic set is unchanged: potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, tomatoes, white cabbage, greens. Further, everything is limited only by the imagination of the hostess and the set of products available in the refrigerator.
You can make borscht more rich by adding boiled or fresh beans to it. green pea, acidify the dish with lemon juice or sauerkraut instead of fresh, cook it on the broth from the meat that is found in the freezer: it is good with chicken, and with pork, and with beef, and with veal, and with rabbit meat. Bay leaves, allspice peas and celery root will make your dish fragrant, and finely chopped garlic clove will add piquancy.
Green borscht is most often seasonal. It is prepared in the spring with the appearance of the first fresh herbs: wild garlic, sorrel, lettuce. However, nothing prevents you from having a real vitamin holiday in winter using frozen greens. As a rule, beets are not added to this dish and often do without meat at all - it is replaced by finely chopped boiled chicken eggs.
... and determine the calorie content
Based on the composition of the dish, you can determine its calorie content.
For example, 100 grams of lean borscht cooked in vegetable broth contains only 30 kcal, so those who are uncompromisingly struggling with excess weight can safely include such a dish in their diet. A little more - about 37 kcal per 100 grams - contains lean green borscht.
This is explained by the fact that among the ingredients of green borscht are chicken eggs and sour cream, which are very high-calorie foods. However, be careful: the same vitamin borscht, cooked on a rich broth from a bone with meat, will pull as much as 187 kcal per 100 grams of product!
But the calorie content of red borscht in meat broth depends on what kind of meat was used. For example, the calorie content of borscht with beef will be 87 kcal per 100 grams of product.
The calorie content of chicken borscht may vary depending on the form in which you will cook the bird. Only 34 kcal per 100 grams of the dish - provided that the skin is removed from the chicken, and as much as 50 kcal per 100 grams of the first dish cooked on chicken with the skin on. Nevertheless, chicken meat continues to be one of the most dietary, and therefore often appears on the plate.
You have to be careful with pork. Pork meat is usually fatty, and therefore the food cooked on it is not at all light - 164 kcal per 100 grams of product.
Therefore, if you adhere to a strict diet - due to illness or for weight loss - it is better to refuse borscht with pork. A dish with pork will successfully replace its counterpart with beef or chicken.
We lower the calorie content of borscht: a note to the hostess
If you really love this wonderful dish and are not at all ready to give it up, but you also want to keep your figure slender, remember these simple tricks:
- fry vegetables in a minimum amount of vegetable oil, and if you have a pan with a non-stick coating, give up oil altogether;
- cook the broth on meat, and not on a meat bone: this way you are guaranteed to save yourself from extra calories;
- borsch cooked on fresh cabbage will turn out to be much less high-calorie than the one cooked on sauerkraut;
- the less potatoes in the dish, the better for your figure;
- instead of mayonnaise as a dressing, you can use low-fat sour cream or refuse it altogether;
- it is better to serve black or gray, but not white bread with a plate of a fragrant dish: rye pastries are better suited to taste, and they contain fewer calories than wheat ones.
Borscht is the first dish eaten in Eastern Europe. It has Ukrainian roots, stands out for its bright color and rich taste. Classical borscht is cooked in meat broth, beets, potatoes, cabbage and tomatoes are the main ingredients.
How many calories are in different types of borscht?
Let's start by determining the calorie content of classic borscht. cooked without meat, has a calorie content of 30 kcal per 100 grams. without skin - 35 kcal per 100 grams, with skin - 52 kcal per 100 grams. If the dish is cooked on beef or its calorie content increases at least 2 times. The calorie content of borscht on beef is 86 kcal per 100 grams, on lean pork - 105 kcal, on fatty pork - as much as 160 kcal per 100 grams. But the fattest is borsch with bacon, its calorie content is 189 kcal per 100 grams.
Let's move on to the calorie content of green borscht. Lean green borscht has a calorie content of 37 kcal, but beef borscht will pull on 95 kcal. The calorie content of green borscht on pork will be 166 kcal per 100 grams.
Of course, it should be taken into account that the calorie content of borscht depends on the amount of meat, vegetables and other additives in it.
What is the calorie content of a plate of borscht?
We figured out the calorie content of borscht per 100 grams of the finished dish. But this is not very convenient for calculations. Therefore, now we will talk about the calorie content of 1 plate of borscht.
It should be noted right away that the sizes of the plates are varied. On the shelves of supermarkets you can find both giant plates containing 500-600 milliliters of liquid, and small plates with a volume of only 200 milliliters. Therefore, in order to know exactly the capacity of your plate, fill it with water, and then pour the water into a measuring glass (you can do it in several doses), then you will know exactly how much liquid your dishes hold and what is the calorie content of a plate of borscht.
For example, take a standard serving (300 grams). Accordingly, the calorie content of a plate of borscht (classic) will be from 90 to 550 kcal. But if you decide to add sour cream or toasted crackers to the borsch, the calorie content will increase in accordance with the calorie content of the additives. Therefore, we strongly recommend that people who are on a diet or have heart problems do not abuse rich borscht with various high-calorie supplements.
The calorie content of a standard plate of green borscht ranges from 110 to 515 kcal. Follow the same rule here. Do not abuse fatty foods. It will not benefit your body, but will only complicate the work of the heart, contribute to the formation of blood clots and blockage of blood vessels.

But given the nutritional value, a large number of useful trace elements, vitamins, borscht can and should be included in your diet at least several times a week.
